Tech After Five

This is a conversation from Networking Over Coffee. 

Phil Yanov interviews Chris Lockhart about the career move he made to leave his corporate gig and enter consulting. He's never looked back and he's got advice and guidance for people who might be looking for the flexibility and challenge of working in the consulting space.

Are you in corporate IT but think you'd like to make the jump to consulting? Maybe you just want to get a different point of view on consulting life. Those are both good reasons to listen to this podcast and share it with your friends.

Few people have done as much in their tech career as Shellye Archambeau. Her resume includes CEO, Silicon Valley leader, Board member for Verizon, Nordstrom, Roper Technologies and Okta Inc. She is hard driving, objective driven, and has used her laser focus on getting her goals accomplished... for multiple organizations. We talk to Shellye about her career arc, her time in sales, and what she found out to be the key secrets of business. Her book, Apologetically Ambitious, is a powerful read for anyone navigating a leadership role in tech, and was chosen by Fortune magazine as the business book of the year.

My mother told me not to talk to strangers. It turns out that it's not great advice for an adult. More talking with people outside of our circles leads us to better places. Kio Stark is the author of When Strangers Meet. She challenged herself and she challenges us to expand our circles and defy that advice we got as kids.

Kio Stark is the author of When Strangers Meet, the novel Follow Me Down and the independent learning handbook Don’t Go Back to School. She writes, consults, teaches, and speaks around the world about stranger interactions, independent learning, and how people relate to technology. In other lives, Kio has worked in journalism, interactive advertising, community research, and game design. She has taught about stranger interactions and intimacy and technology and how we mistake technology for people at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program.

Zoom fatigued? Maybe it's because people aren't using the tool in a way that respects you, the audience. Why do people join a video call and then not take advantage of the video? How can you organize a meeting people will enjoy? How can you get more out of meetings by using the tool better? Can you help educate your fellow Zoomers? In this episode Phil Yanov and Carol Hamilton talk about the human side of communication. We can communicate effectively using video conference. It just takes a bit of practice.
